The built environment is changing fast. AI, digital engineering, and intelligent building systems are no longer emerging trends — they are reshaping how buildings are designed, delivered, and operated right now. Yet for many practitioners, the path to adopting these technologies safely, effectively, and in line with an increasingly demanding regulatory landscape remains unclear.
CIBSE's Technology and Innovation Conference brings together the brightest minds in building services engineering for a day of evidence-based insight, practical guidance, and forward-looking debate. From AI-driven design and predictive maintenance to net zero innovation and the future skills agenda, this is where the profession comes to make sense of the technologies defining its future.
Hosted at CIBSE Headquarters, this is your opportunity to learn from leading practitioners, explore cutting-edge tools and research, and connect with the people driving digital transformation across the built environment.
What to Expect:
- AI, Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems: Explore the real-world application of AI across engineering workflows — from generative design and predictive simulation to automated compliance checking and AI-driven building operations. Sessions will address ethics, data governance, and what responsible AI integration looks like in practice.
- Software, Modelling and Automation: Discover the digital tools empowering engineers today, including CIBSE's own Knowledge Toolbox, TM65 carbon accounting workflows, energy benchmarking dashboards, and cloud-based commissioning and remote diagnostics platforms.
- Innovation for Decarbonisation: Understand how technological advancement is accelerating the journey to net zero. Content will cover integrated HVAC, lighting, controls, and renewables — alongside scalable retrofit solutions for the existing building stock, aligned with UKNZCBS requirements.
- Future Skills and Sector Transformation: The profession must move quickly to build digital and AI fluency. Sessions will examine professional development pathways, innovation culture, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and emerging R&D from start-ups and university research groups.
- Product and Materials Innovation: From smart façades with embedded sensing to next-generation heat pumps and modular plant solutions, this stream highlights the low-carbon technologies set to define the buildings of tomorrow.
